01H1: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction

HCI

What do you call a cross-disciplinary area that deals with the theory, design, implementation, and evaluation of ways human use and interact with computing devices?

HCI

What field of study uses productivity, safety, and entertainment to support and fulfill human-computer activities?

HCI

Which does initially focused on computer interface design and has now expanded to cover almost all forms of information technology design?

• High usability

• User experience

Aside from making the necessary computational functionalities available, HCI’s focus on how to design and implement computer interfaces are for what purpose?

High usability

What would be the result if an interactive design and operations includes correctness, efficiency, safety, utility, learning, and retention?

User experience

What is it that focuses on creating systems that enhance the overall involvement of a person?

User experience

What is this that tackles about how a system should achieve a satisfying, enjoyable, entertaining, helpful, motivating, aesthetically pleasing, and fun experience to the user?

User interface

How does humans interact with computing devices; through what?

User interface

What is this that includes software: such as those being displayed on a computer monitor or any mobile device; and hardware: such as keyboard, mouse, and other external devices?

Interaction

What is it that refers to an abstract model by which humans interact with the computing device to complete a given task?

Interface

What does refers to the boundary wherein two independent systems meet and act on or communicate with each other?

Higher productivity

In any industry, what does usable and efficient interaction with different computing devices translate to?

Poor interface

What would make it difficult for users to benefit from even the simplest systems or programs?

Simple aesthetic

What is the key factor, alongside usability, that is now a critical requirement for commercial success in an interface?

Apple

What products that are very attractive and have created a crowd of regular customers who patronize their products; even its functionalities are nearly equal to their competitors?

• spreadsheet interface = successful business computing

• [no] without web-browser interface = no internet phenomenon

• smartphones/other mobile devices are widely used

• body-based + action-oriented interface for computer games

What are some of HCI’s noticeable impact?
